Jim:

I look forward to corresponding with you. You may not be able to make our meetings, but and the other members of our round table will discuss the Civil War with just about anyone.

Is there something specific you want to know about the Third Kentucky? They, like the other regiments of the First Kentucky Brigade (a.k.a. the Orphan Brigade) became mounted infantry in 1864, but served as regular infantry prior to that. The Third Kentucky was separated from the rest of the Orphans in the fall of 1862 and reunited with them in Georgia in 1864.

I don't think the Third Kentucky was assigned to Forrest, but I can check that.

Feel free to write me anytime about this or any other CW topic.
